Inside are tiny "springs" made of carbon nanotubes - minuscule hair-like filaments - that can "sense" pressure from a slight pinch up to the equivalent of two elephants stepping on top of the sensor.

传感器内部是由碳纳米管制成的微型“弹簧”——非常细小，像头发丝一样——能够感知不同的压力，小到轻轻地捏一下，大到相当于两头大象站在顶上。

Using a special sensor inside ALI called Hyperion, scientists have been able to see wavelengths of light that are invisible to our eyes.

通过ALI中一个叫做Hyperion的特殊传感器，科学家们能看到肉眼所看不到的光波长。

The 35mm full-frame sensor inside the RX1 camera more than doubles the area of APS-C sensors commonly found in much bulkier DSLR cameras, allowing it to take in significantly more light while capturing content.

Take the 3D sensor inside the Microsoft Kinect, shrink it down to a tenth of its original size and add a bunch of mobile capabilities, and you have yourself PrimeSense's latest conquest, better known as Capri.

While it's already being used in art galleries and inside cameras (as sensor covers), Nippon Electric Glass is pushing hard to get its invisible glass featured on mobile devices -- the selling point here is simply to achieve the effect of somewhere in between glossy glass and matte glass, so that you'd get the best color vibrancy with minimal reflection.
